I've learned much from John with much respect back in the day in Engineering Lab when I was a new comer at Link working in Kirkwood, then Hillcrest. John was a good man. Sorry for your loss.

I remember John from Link - I trust he enjoyed his retirement.

Dear Vera, Deb, and John, I was so sorry to hear about the death of your husband and father. I am praying that our heavenly Father will comfort your hearts during these difficult days and in the coming months. Although John's departure has left a huge void, he has also left a lifetime of memories for each of you to enjoy. May our dear Lord Jesus bless each of you and hold you in His loving arms. In Christian love,
